Made from the relatively neutral Melon de Bourgogne variety at the west of the Loire Valley (almost at the maritimie mouth of the river), Muscadet is a style of wine whose freshness, acidity and light flavour make it an ideal foil to seafood and shellfish. For my money, few food and wine combinations beat a steaming bowl of mussels set against a lightly chilled Muscadet. Like all the best Muscadet, the Chateau La Noe overwinters sur lie before bottled for that extra bit of depth . A remarkable and easily overlooked style of wine, it is also as cheap as chips, so what are you waiting for? (NT 25/10/16)
